In Tubesock's filter.

Some things I liked:

- Decent early game, seems thoughtful and not opportunistic.
- Interactions with Eversince are good. He doesn't try dirt-shoveling Eversince for defending his scum-reads (Skynx, Calix), he doesn't attack Eversince for disagreeing with him, he just says what he thinks and then 'agrees to disagree'.
- Takes strong stances (scum-reading Skynx, town-reading Eversince, scum-reading me, etc) but shows a willingness to consider other opinions.
- Remarkably consistent.

Things I did not like:

- Those two big wall-posts about Eversince and Calix. Anyone who writes a post that is larger than my own wall-posts better have a good reason for it. And the two wall-posts Tubesock made just reiterated arguments that were already in the thread.
- Hard defended Oats and rayn a lot for pretty much the entire game. Later goes and has CH as "more town than ExO" during D3. Scum-read townies for pretty much the entire game.
- His switch from scum-reading me to town-reading me was weird and not that well-explained aside from "I liked Calix's recent [D3] posts".
- Not doing much in LYLO.
- Seemed intimately familiar with Vivax's recent reads when it came to defending himself against night kill WIFOM.

Hi! Glad you’re playing again.

I like that you pointed out the awkward exchange concerning Calix, but I just don’t agree it’s indicative. I think a mafia would be more scared about getting a vote placed on them this early and a town wouldn’t really care. Town will/should be able to get their town light to shine.

Skynx, I feel like your case on GB and Rayn was 1/2 trolly 1/2 real. Rayne answered you, and you seem appeased. Are you townreading him? Have your thoughts on GB changed at all?

I’m comfortable townreading Rayne and GB.

Calix I don’t know about. I didn’t agree with any of the Rayne criticism and they seemed a tad nit picky. It reminded me of noobking in my last game (noob was scum). But I do like the activity and she seems to be looking at everything.

Whos mafia tubesock?


Unsure. I want to hear Skynx’s answer to my questions. But if eod was now, I’d vote him. But I can vote anyone but GB, Rayne, you. I don’t like HF as a day 1 lynch, so pretty doubtful I’d vote him (83.7839% certainty)

I still think GB is funny. So tone read I guess.

I’ve liked everything I’ve seen Rayne say.

I think you and I are pretty much on the same page concerning Skynx and Calex. With the exception that I want to see more from Calex as the game goes on. I’m uncertain if her “reevaluating” is genuine or not. She’s mentioned it enough in other reads that I feel like she’s projecting her strategy if she is mafia. But it seems to me that people get called out less for tunneling so being obstinate would benefit her if she were scum rather than reevaluating. I do not like her vote at all. Especially since she doesn’t even scum read Rayne anymore.

HF is solid null to me. I think your point concerning lack of nit picking makes him more likely town. I’m super unlikely to vote him.

Exo, n00b, CH I would support lynching. It’s policy though. I was really hoping CH was BH and would post pics of moving boxes to be hilariously trolly. But it’s Kush. Who I generally find super funny too though so still fun. If he played.

I really liked Oats stuff on Skynx and Calex. I like his straight to the point tone. He’s solid town for me.

Start at the mid portion of page 15. Oats points out the backpedaling. And the easy townreading from Calex on Skynx.

I dont understand why skynx case getting no support means anything whatsoever because it was a terrible case.


Yes, it was. The prior was for Rayn/Calix. That was like 2-3 pages worth of back and forth not 2-3 post. I thought they were fine.

Skynx getting no support makes me think he's not mafia because Rayn under fire and pressure by half the damn thread makes no sense for the mafia to be l'oh, well wtf ever, we dun mind afk'.

That's just stupid.

what do you even mean??
who is "he's"



1). Skynx makes terrible case.
2) I decide it's terrible case.
3) I point out why it's ok from a town point of view even though it's a terrible case.
4) I repeat myself 65536 times that I Don't Think Skynx Is Scum.

Pick out why you think it makes him one or it I'm going to put all of my attention there.

that has nothing to do with his case getting no support


His case got no support because his case deserved no support. Or are you really about to call me out about not reading timestamps being a mafia trait? Because the fact that I say his case has no merit makes me what? Am I scum?


Last comment about this I swear.

1) its a terrible case. Why? Time stamps lies. Time stamps is a super nit picky thing, right? Do you think scum have to fabricate their cases, sometimes by finding any little thing so they can to fabricate a case? I do. And I think Skynx fabricated it so he could look productive.

I also think he did it to blend in without risking too much attention.

We will have to agree to disagree.

I did laugh when his first post is a case on you. I didn’t read past page three on his filter. I’ll accept the point that he will always think you’re scummy in any game (if that’s your point). But the only similarities were the first post is a case about you. The games are a bit different. And if he’s self aware at all, something he likely would try to replicate as mafia.

I’m up for lynching someone else I guess. Not HF though.

Why not HF? I know you said 'his lack of nitpicking' makes him more likely town but you still have him as 'solid null' so I don't really get why you don't want him lynched.


I feel somewhat confident I can read him eventually. I think he tries harder as mafia, but also I think the damage a living fairly inactive mafiaHF is less than killing a townHF who just hasn’t had much time to play. He hasn’t done anything that I think makes him town, but so far he’s on the greener shade of null. However, well within his scum range.

My lynch order would be something like:

Skynx
Currentlyplayless
Vivax, Exo, Damdred

They’re all pretty much the same really.

Doubt i would vote n00bking. Won’t vote for the rest of the game, including Eversince.

I think the only legitimate criticisms for her is her weird reads. I don’t understand her conclusions on Skynx, Damdred, Oats (not so much what she said in her list but our conversation), or Exo. When I talked to her I think she was being honest and open about her opinions. So I’m not faulting her for that. Anyway, I think she’s town.

HF is right. Posts #1003 & 1004 demonstrate pretty clearly that Calex was just talking to be active and appearing hip. She froze up cause she didn’t know where to make her vote look the best.

Last two n00b votes were at 14 and 7 minutes prior to deadline. Exo’s was at 21 minutes prior. Fairly last minute I guess, I can see how that could feel like 5 seconds. But I don’t get why she wouldn’t just vote exo or Damdred as they were scummed by her and also basically AFK players if she were town. Her filter is actually quite barren of scum reads.

Eversince, I hope you give the gun to Rayn. I’d be fine with HF also. I’d just shoot Calex, currentlyhomeless, or Skynx with it. I don’t even know if I’d shoot Skynx with it. I want to see what he does in the next 36 hours.

I don’t think you’re seeing Vivax objectively. Like he is trying to respond to you but you keep burying him with stuff. Isn’t the old Vivax famous for inconsistencies and tin foils? I’m too dumb to understand why he’s being any different this game. But I do like pretty much all his reads.

Also, I was GlowingBeer, just so this is settled.

Actually I could lynch homeless if these lynches can't get traction.

rayn, your play until here makes no sense to me. You start by inquiring homeless, drops the push over nothing, votes eversince for flimsy reasons, says exo is scum but don't really try to convince people he is mafia. Such a weak gameplay for someone who has such a strong personality while playing mafia.


I don’t agree with you concerning rayn. They’re all pretty subjective points that add up to him not being the wrecking force he normally is right? If that’s your point, I think it’s due to being busier in life. Same thing happened to HF and why he plays differently now. I also don’t really agree with the points you brought up. I think he dropped homeless once he realized Kush was trolling. Eversince’s reads are a hot mess, so not sure how his reasonings are weak (you even scum read her, what are your strong reasons?), he posted several times to get Exo lynched. “Try” I guess would be subjective.

What do you think of Exo vs moi?

I disagree with Skynx. He seemed genuinely lost to me at EOD. And I think if he was mafia he’d have more of an idea of game state from having mafia buddies.

Did you make anything of Damdred posts?

I am having a hard time with reads right now. I might throw most of them out and start D2 clear. I might even have to filter dive properly. Because right now I have good odds of being lynched. Most people think I am mafia. But I know I am a ML so have to use info well and can’t slack off.

On phone so please excuse shite grammar.


I have a really tough time with your eod. I’ve only seen two people drop a vote like that and freeze. They were both mafia. I also don’t think I’d ever agree about your reasoning to jump off Vivax.

That being said, Exo’s being pretty opportunistic here and I’d jump his ass pretty hard if you didn’t have that eod you did. Or I thought your reasoning was logical. Or you still held the vote. You have 55 hours or whatever to make up for it though. Exo looks more scummy than he was before. I don’t like his rayn attack either.

Damdred’s been totally worthless and forgettable. He vanishes a lot due to real life though which is sad, but it’s still anti town.

I don't know Damdred's real life circumstances, but I don't think he should get a pass much longer.


I’ve been saying he’s town all game. My reasonings haven’t changed at all. I’m willing to bet his “chill and do nothing” is him living a life outside of mafia. Otherwise known as just busy. And frankly, you can not criticize him for not being around all the time.

On the contrary, I think his read on me is weak, but towards EoD and since he hasn't done very much. He kinda afked his vote on me and left.

I get having a life outside of mafia, but this Rayn doesn't seem like Town Rayn trying to solve the game.


Humor me -- based on the past 24 hours, why do you think Rayn is town?


The only thing I didn’t like about rayn was his final read on Eversince. I didn’t think Calix’ case was that good. The only things Calix had right in it were weird reads. Arguably, you can say her point about Eversince only scumming AFK’s is true. But so is the entire game soooooo....yeah.

I read you scummy for your first case. Scumming you for your case wasn’t weak, your case was that bad.

Do HF and you mostly fight it out like this every game? I don’t play often but I remember two of my last few games you two did this and were both town. One of the games you were blue, fakeclaimed, he CC’d as vigi (actually was) and town killed you. Basically, is this not very normal so I should look deeper into this or not? I think you’re both town.

Sure. But she is uncc’d. And completely untrustworthy so will have almost zero influence. Plus if she’s truthful mafia is using up the rub on her till they kill her. If there’s a medic or cop or whatever they have free reign.

by uncc'd you mean she managed to pick one of the many roles that arent in this game?


Or the real GS doesnt wanna out themselves because right now, they dont need to?


Those could be true realities. I think she’s town GS and is derping. Lots of townies derp massively concerning their claims. Scum generally have polished ones.

Oats, I don’t think rayn is sleeping. What do you mean? I didn’t think his last big post was weird at all. I liked his case on Exo and the rest of his comments.

But that’s speaking from someone who’s been lynched many times because I had to leave thread for extended periods of time.

You guys are wrong on Eversince.

tl;dr

1. Eversince is busy and sleep deprived.
2. Sleep deprivation makes for dumb and forgetful.
3. Saw GB nk, but forgetful and limited brain resources spent focusing on rayn.
4. If actually blue, better she absorbs rb than other blue.
5. If scum will die soon anyway


I think the world we live in is the one where Eversince is insanely busy in real life. If she’s the one I am thinking of she’s friends with rsoultin from another website. She said she was busy due to career then. She has said this much this game (“I work 12-18 hrs”)and since she doesn’t play often, I think it also backs up this reality. working 12-18 hrs a day will drain you. And trying to play this adds to that. Plus without sleeping that makes you forgetful and do dumb things.

I believe her when she said she had to leave prior to deadline. And at the time I think she was the leading lynch. So yeah she was rightfully afraid and claimed. I would have too.

Concerning reading the daypost. It was clear she was concentrating on rayn getting the gun and shooting someone. I can see a sleep deprived person checking to see if two kills were made and glossing over who died. Then she obsessed over why that confirms her and rayn as town. She said she forgot GB was the nk. She admitted reading that and forgot. Cause she was focused on rayn.

Same reasoning explains her misreading of her pm or missing if she starts with a gun or not.

I understand the arguments. And in a vacuum I do agree not understanding if you start with a gun or not or if she still has a gun is indicative of a fakeclaimer. I get it. I think my world is truth.

I also think that if she is liar liar pants afire, the real blue is freely able to do whatever they can do, and when the time comes they can claim and we will kill Ever first cause there is literally no way to have a worse claim than hers. Or a real blue dies then she will be lynched.

If she is town, mafia already knows and are either roleblocking her or will kill her. And if that’s true then if there is another blue (in a 13 player game generally there are two) they will operate without needing to consider being roleblocked. I think that’s fucking awesome for town and out weighs the negative of her actually being mafia.

Scumreads Vivax all day one. To justify her vote, she says the wagons are too static not to have one being mafia. Probably Vivax’s. Then later says Vivax is town because the votes are weirdly static. She unvotes and is frozen on who to vote next.

On April 08 2018 18:08 Calix wrote:
Have access to a keyboard, thank God.

[red]Vivax might be mafia because of how he went about his GB read. First he says that "GB saying he can't post for a while after posting a bunch at the start of the day reads defensive to me" which is typically a mafia trait, and when Damdred questions this read and implies a negative view of Vivax because of it ("kinda a meh read from you"), Vivax's reaction is to call both GB AND Damdred town. Weird progression.

As I see it, it's one of these scenarios:

A) Vivax was always town-reading GB, in which case why did he make the comment about GB being defensive?

B) Vivax was scum-leaning GB until Damdred made a point about why it isn't scummy, then Vivax changed his mind. But then why would you say "yeah he's town"? That's not the response you'd make if someone had changed your mind.

C) Some other scenario I haven't accounted for. However the two I listed were the ones that came to mind when I first read the exchange.

So yes, I'd like an explanation.

I also don't see how the reason he gave for Damdred being town ("I don't see why you wouldn't partially agree with me if you were mafia") is AI.


I agree that GlowingBear is more likely town than not. His posting reads as spontaneous and unplanned to me.

As for his case on me, it's dumb because I DID respond to his vote (after he actually gave reasons) and Eversince's assumption that it was a spite vote was more interesting than a naked vote.


I also want a response from Eversince that clarifies that random town-read she doled out to one of GB/ Calix. Both GB and I asked about that and she ignored both queries to post some irrelevant nonsense. So I am asking again.

After EXTENSIVE research - which involved opening some kush filters and ctrl+f-ing "HF" - I have concluded that I only found one game (Holyf***e Mafia) where kush correctly read HF as mafia. But I only looked at some of his recent games in the database.

Also I have no experience with this guy so I do not know how to interpret his current behaviour.

I would probably not lynch ExO_ or currentlyhomeless unless Eversince does something townie instead of just "okay". And even then, I think Vivax is a better lynch since he has yet to say anything intelligent and has nothing but "okay" posts. Which actually makes him more likely to be mafia now that I reflect on his posting because mafia are always trying to make "okay" posts and not much else.

The point about Eversince having a dodgy read on HF is good but I maintain that the Oats read is whack. I just do not comprehend how someone writes that about a player and doesn't think there's mafia motive there.

Rayn is likely sheepable but not on ExO, I think that's an incorrect guess. Since rayn also suspects HF of being mafia there is a decent chance that the wagon will get rolling there. We shall see what GB Oats and Damdred think.

Could use more Damdred in here as well.


Your rayn sentence is weird. He's currently voting for Eversince. It's a bit odd that you qualify rayn being 'sheepable' by saying you wouldn't vote for ExO_, the person who rayn is most likely to switch his vote to.

I also do not know why you think ExO_ is town aside from "too bad to be scum" (?). What did you make of his latest posts?


Given ES claimed GS there is no way she is getting lynched today. That leaves ExO, HF and maybe you as the next candidates for rayn. Since ExO is a no-go for me atm you can guess where I'll be trying to be ending up with rayn, provided he trusts me enough.


If you're 'trying to end up on X' with rayn then that's not you thinking rayn is sheepable, is it?

And why is ExO_ a no-go? Are you ever going to explain your reads? Because I'm this close to parking my vote on you forever.

How does vivax look bad if you assume HF never posted about him?



Isn't this just asking why I think Vivax is mafia? My current opinion is that his posts are bland and uninteresting. He hasn't said anything engaging. He has an entire scum-team theory yet I do not give a damn about ANY of his scum-reads.

Instead of pushing his reads, he takes on this defeatist attitude about convincing others to vote for his reads.

He called me town despite saying I was pushing rayn for false reasons (which is not a town tell ever) and never explained that despite me asking him about 39580670 times.

His reaction to being called out about the "HF pushing me because a mafia's on the line" quote looks like flailing scum to me.

I also don't get why he's getting emotional. Which is not necessarily scummy by itself but it's not helping me think he's town.

Mafia!Vivax ignores it because he can't think of a legit explanation for it, duh. And he recently said he was 'too busy responding to other posts' to respond to mine so that would be the town!Vivax explanation.

So since he answered it and gave that explanation he isn't scum anymore right? Since that was a significant part of your earlier reasons


No because I still don't think he's done anything that 'townie' and his posts are more "meh" which is why I am happy with my current vote. If you think I am wrong then point out where he's done something townie and ELI5. I could be tunneled with "Vivax is underperforming mafia", I will admit, but I don't see anything convincing for him being town.

Furthermore, there is also a lot of resistance to his lynch and some pushes towards Skynx (who I think is town but we'll see how he responds to this EOD), n00b (I agree he hasn't posted many explicit reads but I am not convinced this is AI for him), myself (pretty terrible D1 lynch if I say so myself), etc.

I meant with wagons. Vivax/ Skynx tied. Calix/ n00b two votes. I would imagine there's a mafia on the line somewhere. I concluded Vivax because his wagon is the one that's most static and somehow hasn't exceeded three votes despite few people properly town-reading or going out on a leg to defend him.



Basically for 47 of the 48 hours of D1 Calix spent scumreading Vivax. You can see her talking about him quite a lot, she also interacts with him. Her points are reasonable enough. she has ample time and content to re-evaluate. She maintains his scumminess.

Of note are the last two posts “Reistance to V lynch” and “static votes mean V scum”. She basically says that because Vivax only has three votes, mafia must be resisting. Despite also saying no one is really going out on a limb to defend him.

I skimmed people's posts a bit. I'll read it properly later.

I'm asking you these things because... well... that's how I usually play the game.
I don't like your read on Skynx, it was way too fast to call him town. I don't understand why you may be calling rayn scum. Vivax being scum for reevaluating stuff that fast doesn't sound scum to me, I actually believe scum would refrain from exposing himself like that. I mean, he gives a scum read, then Damdred says "I don't think you are right because of these reasons", he agrees with those reasons and townreads me. I think it's a reasonable stream of thoughts.

That being said, considering your contributions, I'd expect a better scumread. It's easy for mafia to call town people town. Comitting to reasonable calling someone scum, in the other hand, is not safe for mafia. When you posted your scumreads, you said you need to reevaluate. When you posted your townreads, you didn't say anything.

It's just... easy to say you're going to lynch someone you find scum by EoD. That's obvious. That's why, although you've contributed, I can't take my weak scumread from you. I admit it's weak, but it is a scumread.


Wait, so it's 'way too fast' to call Skynx town but 'you expect a better scum-read' at this point after I just pursued two scum-reads? Really? Is it also not 'way too fast' to call you town as well? I don't know why you think my Skynx town-read is 'too hard and fast' when I've been town-reading you for longer.

I posted my scum-reads, then engaged with my scum-reads, then was presented with new information which = reevaluation process. Saying I need to reevaluate after I've had a discussion with my top scum-read is just common sense.

Ask better questions then.

Also how the fuck am I still a 'weak scumread' for you? That's lame. And hypocritical, if I may say so myself For the fact that you're lecturing me about shit scum-reads, your scum-read on me is shoddy.


Uhm, let me express myself better.
I'm not arguing about your townread on me. I think it's okay. Skynx, in the other hand, is a townread for a couple of posts that in my POV doesn't make him a strong townread. What he did can be faked (calling someone out then reevaluating right after it, then peacing out). I'd never give a townread on him because of that.

I'm okay with your reevaluation process, but until you reevaluate, shouldn't you be lynching who you think it's mafia for now?

I'm not lecturing you on anything. I'm as a good player as you are. You have to reevaluate rayn and vivax. I have to reevaluate you. But if you asked me: "who would you be lynching right now?", I would say "Calix", regardless of the need of reevaluation. You have the same weak scumreads as me, but you're not comitting in being lynching anyone. That's... evasive. Non-committal. That is what sounds scummy to me.


I hate to break the news to you, but I'm not you. Therefore saying that I'm scummy for reading people for different reasons to you is an invalid argument. I am happy with my town-read on Skynx. Deal with it.

Yes, I haven't unvoted and have no plans to. Because unvoting without having someone else to vote for is dumb. But right now, I'm not going to push for a lynch on someone that I am less sure of.

So because I didn't respond to a generic question in the way you would, I'm scummy? Again, I'm not you, and accusing me on the basis that I didn't say "Vivax/ rayn" for "best lynches" is pedantic. And non-committal? I've taken more stances than most of the game has.

I'm not going to feign confidence in my scum-reads if I am not actually as confident as I used to be.


Dude lol calm down.

It is a scum-trait to easily call people town and not really comitting to a lynch in the early game. It's not just my opinion. Anyone who has played a lot as mafia knows that calling town people town is a safe play while looking contributive.

It's weak, but it is what it is. It's impossible to have a strong scumread when we have less than 20 pages in 24 hours.


I'm calm. I'm not sure why people keep thinking I'm not. Must have the verbal equivalent of Resting Bitch Face

And yes, this game is ridiculously slow. Can't wait for the inevitable CFDs.

Aforementioned slowness is why I am considering lynching some AFK dude even if they're not my strongest scum-read. Lynching a top-poster on D1 is usually a bad idea. And rayn's filter is bigger than mine is.

Since you are so concerned about lynch suspects, who among the 'low posters' would you want to lynch aside from Skynx?

The one where he tells Vivax and I to call it off when Vivax and I were not even fighting was out of place. And he hadn't called me town before that post. Otherwise he has "safe" reads and "okay" posts. Fits the profile of mafia skirting by.

Here is what I could find of her scum reads and what would happen if Vivax couldn’t be lynched. Three times she said she would be fine with voting an AFK player. She scums Exo and maybe Damdred. Damdred is basically an AFK dude. Her posts did seem like she was confident that she would have a secondary target. Comfortable with AFK, Exo, or Damdred.

Just my thought but this vote count is horrendous for town


I actually agree with you. It is why I am starting to think Vivax might be town despite what I think of his posting. Because there have been a lot of posts but the votes have been weirdly static. Mafia is either AFK or they do not give a damn. Since you could lynch almost anyone here if you wanted to, I think it's option #2.



This is the singular post and argument that unravels 47 hours of thinking and deliberating. Nothing really changed, the votes were still static. Even IF she never posted or thought static votes were indicative of resistance, I don’t see how town!Calix could override her previous thinking.

Who would you lynch?) which don't specifically relate to anything I have said before you turned up. So I am curious.


I skimmed people's posts a bit. I'll read it properly later.

I'm asking you these things because... well... that's how I usually play the game.
I don't like your read on Skynx, it was way too fast to call him town. I don't understand why you may be calling rayn scum. Vivax being scum for reevaluating stuff that fast doesn't sound scum to me, I actually believe scum would refrain from exposing himself like that. I mean, he gives a scum read, then Damdred says "I don't think you are right because of these reasons", he agrees with those reasons and townreads me. I think it's a reasonable stream of thoughts.

That being said, considering your contributions, I'd expect a better scumread. It's easy for mafia to call town people town. Comitting to reasonable calling someone scum, in the other hand, is not safe for mafia. When you posted your scumreads, you said you need to reevaluate. When you posted your townreads, you didn't say anything.

It's just... easy to say you're going to lynch someone you find scum by EoD. That's obvious. That's why, although you've contributed, I can't take my weak scumread from you. I admit it's weak, but it is a scumread.


Wait, so it's 'way too fast' to call Skynx town but 'you expect a better scum-read' at this point after I just pursued two scum-reads? Really? Is it also not 'way too fast' to call you town as well? I don't know why you think my Skynx town-read is 'too hard and fast' when I've been town-reading you for longer.

I posted my scum-reads, then engaged with my scum-reads, then was presented with new information which = reevaluation process. Saying I need to reevaluate after I've had a discussion with my top scum-read is just common sense.

Ask better questions then.

Also how the fuck am I still a 'weak scumread' for you? That's lame. And hypocritical, if I may say so myself For the fact that you're lecturing me about shit scum-reads, your scum-read on me is shoddy.


Uhm, let me express myself better.
I'm not arguing about your townread on me. I think it's okay. Skynx, in the other hand, is a townread for a couple of posts that in my POV doesn't make him a strong townread. What he did can be faked (calling someone out then reevaluating right after it, then peacing out). I'd never give a townread on him because of that.

I'm okay with your reevaluation process, but until you reevaluate, shouldn't you be lynching who you think it's mafia for now?

I'm not lecturing you on anything. I'm as a good player as you are. You have to reevaluate rayn and vivax. I have to reevaluate you. But if you asked me: "who would you be lynching right now?", I would say "Calix", regardless of the need of reevaluation. You have the same weak scumreads as me, but you're not comitting in being lynching anyone. That's... evasive. Non-committal. That is what sounds scummy to me.


I hate to break the news to you, but I'm not you. Therefore saying that I'm scummy for reading people for different reasons to you is an invalid argument. I am happy with my town-read on Skynx. Deal with it.

Yes, I haven't unvoted and have no plans to. Because unvoting without having someone else to vote for is dumb. But right now, I'm not going to push for a lynch on someone that I am less sure of.
+ Show Spoiler +

So because I didn't respond to a generic question in the way you would, I'm scummy? Again, I'm not you, and accusing me on the basis that I didn't say "Vivax/ rayn" for "best lynches" is pedantic. And non-committal? I've taken more stances than most of the game has.

I'm not going to feign confidence in my scum-reads if I am not actually as confident as I used to be.

Earlier in the day Calix said unvoting someone unless you have someone else in mind is dumb. I think she actually believes that. There’s zero mafia motivation to lie about it.

She had other scum reads and options she REPEATEDLY mentioned. She waffled voting n00b whom she NEVER scummed. She was willing to follow her previous strongest scum read onto n00b. No fucking way will town be willing to vote someone they’ve only said towny things about. It would have been one thing if n00b was an AFKer. But in the posts about AFKers she says lynching an afk dude is better than a top poster (rayn at the time). N00b may not have been a top poster, but he was active and she towned him!! There would be zero consideration for lynching n00b let alone “waffling”.

Despite showing confidence she would just vote an afk if nothing else presented she froze on no one. She unvoted someone she spent a lot of time scumreading without another target. She says that’s dumb. It’s dumb for town, but when you’re mafia you need to look good as possible. And she knew she screwed up when she got off the wagon and was unsure who to vote because all votes would look bad.

I also think the backpedal she did on rayn was super bad too.

Anyway, the tl;dr of what I was going to say about your wall-post is that I wasn't meaning to 'accuse' GB when I asked him that question. It was just something I found, thought "hey this might be interesting" and posted it because why not, it's the early game. It's not that deep, basically.

Vivax was more of an accusation post but not 100% because I wanted clarification first. Dunno, I think the problem here is that you misread my intentions as being more...aggressive? than I intended them to be. And then you think I am scummy because I don't go about doing...whatever it is you think I should be doing. Hard to explain.

This doesn't really touch on a lot of what you wrote since, as said, I haven't properly read your post and absorbed it, but you can ask me questions to clarify things I haven't talked about in the meantime. You seem to have more free time now.

If you are really telling the truth about thinking i am mafia because "i should vote for you" why are you not reading Holyflare mafia as he agreed with your case (which if correct makes me mafia) but is not voting for me?


I'm aware you have used the 'no right answers' read in the past but that wasn't my intent. All I can really say there.

My argument for you being mafia was that you kept calling me things that made me mafia but hadn't really 'committed' yourself to that read which I thought was suspicious. Since a vote would have shown some commitment to the read, I talked about that as an example of 'not showing commitment'.

Since you have now cased me, this argument is no longer applicable.

I did notice HF not voting for you after calling you "mafia rayn". I just don't have a strong opinion on it other than "that's weird, I'll make a note of that for later" because he hasn't done anything else whereas you had the multiple posts calling me mafia.

backpedal successful and complete



Already talked about and I quoted Oats for easy finding and cred. I think she got off rayn partly because he would fight hard, people would listen, and no one really agreed. Contrast with Vivax who was semi afk, most people kinda scummed him, and the HF really scummed him. Scumming Vivax is fucking safe. Keeping rayn scummed when he fights back is not safe.


Conclusion, Calix is mafia.

PSDS it isn’t bussing unless you actually vote them.

Would like some explicit reads so I know where his head's at though. Right now he's consistently made posts which imply I am town, consistently suggests Vivax is mafia, and some posts about a few other players like Eversince.

Envisioning that Eversince is scum, then is she also white-knighting Skynx? Or do you think the way she's defending him feels different, and that he's more likely to be a scummate than just another townie she's trying to cozy up to?

There is confirmed mafia between two players. If you are town you need to be discussing hf and rayn right the fuck now


You are wrong.

Unmolested checks means 1of HF or rayn is mafia. That’s correct.
But I think it’s pretty likely that mafia has a framer or Godfather. Or if not we could have a miller.
We have a pretty good POE pool now. Basically, two of Calix, Skynx and Vivax can be scum and at most 1 scum in HF or rayn with great odds of both HF and rayn being town.

CurrentlyHomeless is confirmed to me cause we mindmelded. So tldr, we have 66% to hit scum outside of the HF/rayn pool or 50/50 at best in just rayn or HF.

I think it’s ok because I know some towns love to kill the top players day one for some reason.

The other was the Exo case which Oats talked about as super weird. But I thought he was talking to three different people in one post, so that’s not that weird at all.

And I really liked the rest of what he said. Well, except the whole kill ES bits. But I understand.

You can just about take any of his comments at random and research it, and it’s because he misread or misconstrues it.

0% chance I will vote for CurrentlyHomeless for the rest of the game.
Holyflare might as well be 0%. So they’re basically confirmed.

And I think Calix is most likely town. rayn kinda too, but he has had slips.

That leaves Skynx, Vivax, Oats. With rayn alternate.

But I could probably change my thinking in 15 minutes.

I was not responding to your Tubesock progression directly. I'm starting to think we are clashing a lot over playstyle/ culture differences. For example, you use arguments like this when referring to yourself:

For instance I asked him why he was townreading ever. Based on what I’ve just told you about my thought process on ever and how tube defended ever why do you think I would have asked him that at that stage in the game if I were scum? If I were scum I could have just let it be because I would have no need to figure out the game.


Things like this give me the impression that you play mafia [the game, not alignment] very deliberately and don't post without having a very specific purpose ever and don't explicitly state everything you're doing. Therefore you think asking X at Y specific time is a town tell. And it seems like you genuinely think this. You getting annoyed at me for 'misrepresenting' and 'not picking up on things' you did which showed you actually did think XYZ is also making me think we're clashing over NAI stuff.

Anyway, I (well, HF and Tubesock too) don't find these arguments convincing because it is within most players' mafia range to ask these sorts of questions that look like they're solving the game a lot. So we just see them as NAI for the most part.

If you're wondering what the point of this post is, it's me thinking "hm I might be scum-reading you for reasons which aren't actually scummy for you because of how you approach the game so I should probably try and understand how you play and not just rely on how I scum-hunt, especially since I'm probably the person deciding the game if we get to 2v1."

I believe it's Night 5, not 4.

Anyway, that confirms HF as town for sure. I'm pretty much confirmed too because of the Veteran/ Jailkeeper thing.

HF, you're probably dead tonight. Talk to me please. I'm feeling the uncertainty creep in P:

Actually, wait. I just realised that tonight is 100% a no-kill.

Think about it. Bugs is claiming Jailkeeper. If he's town, he knows Tubesock is mafia. He just roleblocks Tubesock to block the kill.

If Tubesock is town then Bugs just shoots Tubesock once and claims that he roleblocked Tubesock.

So looks like it'll be a 3v1.

why do you think he is "jk" lol?


I don't. I'm saying he has to enforce a no-kill regardless of his alignment.

It doesn't really matter though because it's still LYLO regardless of whether it's with 2 or 3 townies.

It just means there's an extra confirmed town voice tomorrow.

Yes, I agree Bugs is most likely scum, especially since there was nothing particularly damning in Tubesock's filter, but I see no harm in hearing him out given the situation. Also it's more fun.

My alignment doesn't need clearing up either P: But as said, it doesn't matter too much whatever happens tonight.

Jailer cannot target the same player on consecutive nights


Where does it say that?

Also didn’t we establish that Jailer actually can target the same person on consecutive nights?

Must have misread, my bad.

In any case, time to sit back and chill.

CH is welcome to come at me with the night kill so I get to see the observer QT sooner.

Who wants to bet it’s mostly salt? :D

While there's quite a bit to mope about this game, I'm going to focus on some of the things I liked instead.

1. I enjoyed playing with Tubesock. He was pretty chill.

2. Tag-teaming mafia with Holyflare was neat. Usually we just argue with each other a bunch and then one of us dies early :D

3. I have respect for wherebugsgo's scum game. His persistence and improvisation made this game ten times more enjoyable, I think.

4. I also liked n00bking when he was in the game even though I didn't appreciate this at the time, lol. Maybe one day he'll survive past Day 2 on this site as town!

Teams are often RNGed because it avoids this host meta that you're using. Anything else is asking for trouble. Thus your logic that rayn would instantly die after HF is flawed.

To give my two cents on night kills, I think a bit of both strategies is advisable depending on the game state and the skillset of the remaining townies. If you only focus on killing solvy players or those with good reads, you risk town piecing together your strategy or wondering why you're still alive (if you survive to late-game). If you only focus on minimising information that town gets then you risk the remaining active town players forming a town circle, using POE, making iron-clad cases on mafia, etc.

In this instance, I think the GB kill was fine but following that up with killing the AFK replacement was a massive tip-off that the mafia was fine with the current game state. I'd argue that's more information given than just killing someone with good reads or who is solvy because it tells town that they're on the wrong track.

he had a red check on him. He would have died because of that combined with “if he is town why is he still alive”


I assumed you were referring to killing HF at ANY point in the game, my bad. If you're saying that killing HF on N1, for instance, would have lost you the game then I will say that it wasn't guaranteed that ExO would check rayn N2 in that scenario because his reads (and everyone else's) would be influenced by the kill to an extent. ExO might have checked a suspicious townie (or Oats) which could also have massively influenced the game.

we didn’t lose because of the kills, that much is for sure.

the only kill that was objectively bad was the Vivax one but we were already in a losing position.

If there is a single action that lost us the game it was the RB. Everything else was down to our play.


I don't think anyone would argue that roleblocking a PR (in isolation) is ever a bad play though. If rayn had received the gun then Eversince would not have been lynched D2 and either I get lynched or I try-hard and get someone else lynched. Roleblocking Eversince definitely changed the game a lot in that sense.

This is a lot of words to say "even one night kill/ action can influence the game a lot" lol. I think town would almost certainly have lost without the PRs this game.

Parity Cop definitely swung the game around in town's favour and that's not something mafia had a great deal of control over. In retrospect, ExO's play was more blue-oriented (he was never VT with his play but I thought he was mafia not blue) but you'd need meta to figure that one out and you hadn't played with him before. So it would have been difficult for the mafia to have found him early, I think.

In general, I think alignment-checking roles are OP and should not be used ever because they require no skill and deny mafia mislynches. Godfather/ Miller/ Framer are not good 'counters' in my opinion.

not much to say, followed the game from the sidelines and kinda agree with gb here...got the impression wrongly that hf/rayn were both mafia shitting up the thread. rayn's filter was disjointed enough from the get go and think it lacked his town passion that at least I'm used to in town rayn. just my opinion.

re: setup, this struck me

this game didn't seem unbalanced. not bh here but some insights on tl blue role play.

like can't really get into hts' brain as to why she balanced the game this way, but this is probably one of the few times - maybe the only time - where I've seen a parity cop get those checks off this early. there are some people on this site who are extremely good at blue hunting too. also unlucky for scum that gf flipped....had it been anyone else, they at least had the option of wifoming a miller somewhat in the setup.

inv roles on this site don't think have been played nearly as well as you may think, most cops myself included will check lurkers and not "sleepers" or the hail mary play, and and there's been lots of lurkers in tl games all around. people do even worse as tracker.

I remember when I first joined tl there was some thread going down about town losing or some shit because blue play on this site is generally awful. can't say it's better or worse, but inv roles have not directly correlated slam dunk town wins. even when inv roles do make "good" checks.

+ Show Spoiler +
and this game didn't even have a rolecop. the mafia rolecops I've seen generally help with at least one blue nk.
also most blues on this site claim way too early before they can get critical information out as needed.


like I cohosted once with bh and bh says that alignment cop is op but not so much parity. fwiw.

idk tldr here is that inv roles exist for a reason. no reason she couldn't have just knocked out gunsmith and just gone cop versus framer. or done tracker gunsmith, but I've played enough hts games where I know she absolutely would have made gf untrackable.


I wasn't calling the setup unbalanced. Setup is fine by TL standards. I was saying that Parity Cop was what turned the tides in town's favour. That isn't unbalanced in this setup. That's the natural result of a Parity Cop getting off unmolested checks on two living players despite Roleblocker and Godfather existing.

But I, personally, dislike alignment-checking roles because they make mafia's job harder while not adding much more in terms of gameplay. If I want to add investigative roles then I would use Tracker or a killing role or an extremely neutered Investigative role like Motion Detector, etc. The non-killing ones add a bit more ambiguity to investigative results and the killing ones rely on reads, not mechanics.

Players being shit with blue roles doesn't mean we add stronger blue roles. It means players should learn to get good at playing blue

I actually think your sentence about the Godfather/ Miller WIFOM strengthens my argument. No game has been improved by the addition of "is the cop check legit or is that player a Miller/ Godfather?" discussion ever. It is repetitive because the obvious answer is just to evaluate the player's posts. Since that's what you should be doing anyway, it's reasonable to conclude that Cop just adds unnecessary mechanics discussion to the game. It usually confirms the Cop as town but there are better ways of going about that with almost any other blue role.

Anyway, I am writing this to explain my anti-Cop stance, not to talk shit about how people balance their games. I don't expect to suddenly convert TL Mafia to my way of thinking.
